Description
Summary:To control the dust pollution caused by the unloading of a multilevel ore pass, numerical simulation and similar experiments were carried out to study the airflow and dust migration influenced by the unloading quantity and the continuous unloading at different time intervals in the ore pass. From this research, the following conclusions are drawn: when the first level of the ore pass is unloaded, the third and fourth levels are the main dust-producing positions, and the concentrations of dust in the breathing zone can reach 85 and 325 mg/m3, respectively. Increasing the unloading interval and reducing the total single unloading quantity can prevent the superposition of dust production. The foam dust removal technology can reduce the secondary dust generation caused by the backlash of the airflow in the ore pass, and the dust emission rate can reach 60% at the fourth level.
